Opportunities in 2018 with our Partners and Associates

We do our best at Storytelling Australia Victoria to share as much storytelling news as we can gather that we believe is of interest to Victorians.

On Facebook we share any and all Victorian storytelling news, regardless of the membership status of the storytellers. This is a public site and is embedded in the HOME page of our website so you do not have to be a member of Facebook to check it out. There is always a lot to explore.

However this blog (which is free) is reserved for the news of our members, partners and associates. And some our good friends are hosting conferences and events and you might wish to toss your hat into the ring. So for those of you who have missed the posts on Facebook, here is the latest!

The Newport Fiddle and Folk Club is a great supporter of Storytelling Australia Victoria. As well as promoting us in their newsletters, several of their members are also keen storytellers and regulars at our monthly gathering: Fabled Nights in Newport.

The storytellers have hosted an annual open floor session for the Folk Festival for many years; Stories by the Fire and last year we also offered a workshop.

However you might have an idea for a show or workshop that you would like to offer the festival.
